Why exactly are raisins toxic for dogs and not humans?
  • Inspired by this article. Thankfully it seems more like a chest thumping move, rather than standard practice. It's not like there are hordes of addicts ravaging cemeteries like some post apocalyptic movie

    tl;dr Allegedly, addicts in Sierra Leone are mixing crushed human bones into their drugs, for a little extra pep in their step

  • Short games with lots of replay value?
  • I like the Kingdom Rush tower defense series of games

    I'll also toss Serious Sam 3 BFE in the ring, it lets you choose which levels you'd like to play without having to progress through the normal campaign mode. So if you have a few minutes, and feel the need for some stress relief it works well

  • Alacritty, Konsole, or something else? Which terminal emulator do you recommend?
  • I'm also on Gnome, but I use Konsole for the 'Copy Input to Tab' or 'Copy Input to All Tabs in window.' In my use case scenario, it's super helpful to be able to type or paste a cmd once, and have it populate multiple tabs, or specific tabs in multiple windows. It does take a little tweaking to get it to obey the dark theme settings, but once upon a time I actually created a custom dark theme, just so I could use Konsole on Gnome. Things are much easier these days 😁 I'll have to check out Tilix, I haven't heard of it before, but that may be b/c I literally work by myself in the dank dark basement of the building...I don't think the cleaning crew even knows that I'm down here

  • Chef! (1993-1996)

    I used to watch this on PBS in the 90s, it stars Lenny Henry. If you liked 'The Bear' I think you may also like this.

    Someone has posted clips from various episodes (just so you can get a taste): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB32A14286F5B026F

    Babylon 5 (1993-1997)

    In an effort to redeem myself I was going to post Island City (1994), but Dr Wesker beat me to it by about 2 months. So I give you Bablyon 5 (1993-1997) , S01 intro.

    I remember seeing the pilots for both B5 and Island City on UPN(?) on the same day

    Re-using an 8 bay Synology NAS case

    I have an old Synology 1819 NAS that was the unfortunate victim of the Intel Atom/Clock bug. I would like to repurpose the case as I like the compact form factor. Has anyone tried replacing a synology mobo with something else (ex: an ITX board or a Raspberry Pi), and using an alternative operating system?

    Build Suggestions

    Please forgive me, of the many things I've forgotten...this is...one of them. I could've sworn there used to be an updated rolling sticky with 3-4 (maybe more?) build suggestions from 'meh' to 'super ultra mega I can't afford space kraken' posted and maintained by people way smarter than I am, somewhere on the main page/sidebar of PCMR.

    I've got a ~6 year old mini-ITX AMD build that I'm hoping to replace with something similar, and I'd used those suggestions last time with great success. I'm hoping to build something that'll last another 6 years. If anyone has any idea what the heck I'm talking about, I'd appreaciate you pointing me the right direction. Thanks in advance!
